Building Blocks: Death Blocks
August 14, 2024
Because I could not stop (playing Cubric) for death, he kindly stopped for me.
Imagine crafting an obstacle course that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, demanding precision, agility, and quick thinking from every player. Despite the name, Death Blocks often add new life and vitality to player-created obbies. Death Blocks are designed to enhance the difficulty and excitement of your creations. Here’s why you should incorporate them into your builds:
- Instant Lethality: Death Blocks cause any player who touches them to die instantly, adding a high-stakes element to your obstacle course.
- Strategic Placement: Use them as barriers or hazards that players must navigate around, increasing the complexity and thrill of your course.
- Creative Freedom: Combine Death Blocks with other obstacles to design unique and unforgettable courses that will keep players coming back for more.
- Drop Dead Gorgeous Design: When game mode is off, these blocks still keep their killer looks.
Silent But Deadly Substances
Did you know Aconite, also known as monkshood, has been used historically in warfare and assassination? Its toxic properties were known in ancient times, and it was often applied to arrows and weapons to ensure lethal outcomes in battles. Its Greek name lycoctonum means “wolf’s bane.” People think ancient Greeks may have used its juice to make arrows or baits that could poison and kill wolves.
Elevate your Game Design Skills
To add a death block to your game, go to Inventory in Build mode on your island. Find a death block design in the Game Maker section. Put it in your inventory tray, and go back to your island. Or, for the ultimate obby upgrade, you can buy a Hammer Pack from the Cubric Store. It has 3 moving death blocks, 1 sliding pillar block, 1 small swinging hammer, and 1 big swinging hammer.
When you’re done designing, your Death Block-enhanced obstacle course isn’t just a challenge; it’s a testament to your creativity and game design skills. By incorporating these lethal blocks, you’re creating a gameplay experience that’s both thrilling and unforgettable. Imagine the excitement and admiration from your friends as they attempt to conquer your devilishly designed courses.
Make a lasting impression in Cubric, and you can achieve creative immortality.
